This is the same as the Japanese Music Kill and Save game except the artists are non-Japanese (though that doesn't stop anyone from adding them as game play progresses). This game started at the request of DSOTA.

=================================================

Game setup: There are 20 music artists in the game list. Each artist has 20 points. Players add and deduct points for artists on the list.

Rules:1) For each turn a player adds one (+1) point to one artist and deducts one (-1) point from another.2) A player waits for another player to take their turn before taking another turn.3) When an artist has zero points they are "killed" and removed from the game. The player who eliminated them adds another music artist to the game (with 20 points).4) When an artist has 40 points they are "saved" and removed from the current game. The player who promoted them adds another music artist to the game (with 20 points).5) "Saved" artist names are kept on the "Save" list.6) *Suggestion*: When 20 artist names are saved, the game is started over with those artists. They start over with 20 points.

7) Have fun!

================================================

The initial list was made up from the first 20 artists listed on the connections tab for the "This is a group with random and sometimes questionable musical taste for people who…" group in last.fm.
